The Mercer University Libraries celebrates Juneteenth (June 19) in honor of our African-American students, faculty, and staff. During Juneteenth, check out the virtual book display presentation at the Swilley Library in Atlanta and in the lobby of the Douglas and Henry RAC centers on the Digital Information Screens.
The Mercer University Libraries is excited to celebrate World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development on Saturday, May 21. Watch the Q&A videos featuring Dr. Ansley Booker, the Director of Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives and Felix Jelen, the Assistant Vice President of Global Engagement. Both of them discuss why cultural diversity is important at Mercer University. Also, take a look at the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Collection in Kanopy, which is accessible through the library. For more information about World Day for Cultural Diversity, visit the United Nations website.
We are so proud of you and your accomplishments on the road to receiving your degree!
To celebrate our graduating Bears, check out the bulletin boards at the Atlanta, Henry, and Douglas libraries. You can also stop by the display table to grab some candy and write what you’ll miss about the Mercer University Libraries.
Congratulations to Janay Williams! She is the winner of the RAC survey drawing! Thank you to all of the students, faculty, and staff who participated in our survey during National Library Week.
